  We call Camp 2030 the ultimate “un-conference” experience. Instead of listening, you’re working. Instead of networking, you’re building authentic relationships.

  Your 6 days at Camp 2030 are all about building - building relationships, building solutions, building teams, building skills, and building your networks.

• I N N O V A T E

  During Camp, you will work in teams to develop solutions to the most critical challenges that the world faces. Using our proven innovation process alongside the support of our Partners, each Team will leave the Summit with an Action Plan for how they will then implement their solutions. For our winning teams, we provide support to help you bring your solutions to life.

What is Camp 2030?

Camp 2030 is a 6-day “innovation lab” for the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, hosted during Global Goals Week 2020. We energize you to take action to create a new solution to one of the most critical issues facing our world, and elevate your voice to help them take flight.

For the first time, we are engaging the next generation to become the LEADING GENERATION to create positive, lasting social impact.
